It's only set if you try to checkout/export to an absolute path. It was forbidden in the old CVS because of the way the protocol works & I tried to work around it, which seems to be OK for most purposes. It's entirely possible that a mistake with admin -o could do nasty things to your repository... I'd reserve its use to absolute emergencies (eg. must be deleted for legal reasons) as it has no history and doesn't interoperate with the rest of CVS. That's why it's for admins only and there's a big warning on the help. I'm not at all sure that's what's happened here, though (cvs history should give you some hints). Tony
